Carolyn Adams was 20 and living in Columbus, Ohio, when she was killed on July 16, 1986. Her body was found under a bridge several miles from where she was last seen alive. The killing came just days after her young daughter, Amanda Adams, had been kidnapped and killed; Carolyn’s murder is believed to be connected to Amanda’s abduction and death.

The case remains unsolved and is part of Ohio’s cold case investigations. Despite involvement by local law enforcement and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, no viable leads have emerged and no one has been held accountable. Authorities continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Carolyn or Amanda, or has information about their abduction or the location where Carolyn was last seen, can you share what you know with investigators?
